Yesterday, Barcelona announced Memphis Depay as their new signing for the club. Rumors were spreading for months about Depay's arrival to Barcelona, with an agreement supposedly made weeks ago, but since Depay was playing at the Euros, they had to send medicals for his examination. After passing it, everything was set for Depay to join Barcelona, which will happen after his contract at Lyon expires. His new contract with Barcelona will run until the end of the 2022-23 season.
In relation to Messi, Depay played twice against him, which were the 1st and 2nd legs of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League R16 between Barcelona and Lyon. In the tie, Messi scored 2 goals and made 2 assists (out of Barcelona's 5 goals). Here are some pictures featuring both of them:
That is all for today, so as always, I hope you liked this entry and I'll see you in the next blog.
